Why does the position of the constellation Orion appear to change throughout the year and why can't Orion be seen in the summer sky?
The reason is that as Earth travels round the Sun in 12 months, the stars that are visible at midnight each night shift slowly by about 1 degree every 24 hours so that a complete circle round the sky is completed once a year. In the opposite direction is the Sun, and the Sun moves across the background of stars also competing a circle every year. In the summer the Sun is approximately lined up with Orion so that the stars of Orion can't be seen because of the glare from the Sun. Actually, Orion is visible in the summer sky, to the east just before sunrise in the Northern Hemisphere.
